It subsequently turned out that someone packaged Sophia Gimba, a member of the Labour Party Campaign Committee, daughter of a senior officer and model as a poor job seeker.
Sophia Gimba is a graduate of Mass Communication at the Nasarawa State University, Keffi. She was said to be an indigene of Nasarawa and work in a shopping mall in Abuja.
She made national screens when Peter Obi ’empowered’ her in quest to set up a baking and confectionery business with a sum of #75,000. This gesture was highly televised and widely reported.
Sharing photos of his meeting with Ms. Gimba, Peter Obi wrote, “Today, I fulfilled my pledge to assist Ms. Gimba Sophia Emmanuel in her aspiration to acquire an oven and start her baking and confectionery business.
“She has indicated that she will procure a Made in Nigeria oven – thus enhancing the value chain and putting into effect, the consumption to production mantra,” he said.
Sophia Gimba is her Facebook name. (https://www.facebook.com/gimba.sophia?mibextid=ZbWKwL)
